Make Music Eugene Debuts June 21st!
Get ready for a vibrant celebration of music as the Eugene Symphony proudly launches the first annual Make Music Eugene on Saturday, June 21st. As part of the global Make Music Day, this free, city-wide event invites everyone – from seasoned musicians to curious newcomers – to participate in the joy of making music.
The Eugene Symphony is spearheading this initiative, acting as both the local organizer and the host of a special all-day event at the beautiful Owen Rose Garden (6 am - 8 pm). Expect to enjoy performances by Eugene Symphony chamber ensembles, a lively steel pan band from Seattle, and a variety of talented local artists. The Owen Rose Garden will also feature a community music workshop area, an engaging "Instrument Petting Zoo" for all ages to try out instruments with guidance from musicians, and delicious food and beverage vendors.
This new event builds upon the cherished tradition of community music in outdoor spaces, echoing the spirit of the Eugene Symphony Guild's former "Music in the Garden."
Want to be a part of the music? Musicians of all levels and ages are invited to sign up to perform at eugene.makemusicday.org. Businesses and organizations can also contribute by offering their outdoor spaces as concert venues through the same website.
